    Rally Round the West Indies (David Rudder)

    For ten long years
    We ruled the cricket world
    Now the rule seems coming to an end
    But down here
    Just a ***** in the armour
    Is enough, enough to lose a friend
    Some of the old generals have retired and gone
    And the runs don't come by as they did before
    But when the Toussaints go the Dessalines come
    We've lost the battle but yet we will win the war

    Chorus:
    Rally, rally round the West Indies
    Now and forever
    Rally, rally round the West Indies
    Never say never
    Pretty soon the runs are going to flow like water
    Bringing so much joy to every son and daughter
    Say we're going to rise again like a raging fire
    As the sun shines you know we gonna take it higher
    Rally, rally round the West Indies
    Now and forever
    Rally, rally round the West Indies

    Way Down Under a warrior falls
    Michael Holding falls in the heat of the battle
    "Michael shoulda left long time!"
    I heard an angry brother shout
    Caribbean man, that, that, that is the root of our trouble
    In these tiny theatres of conflict and confusion
    Better known as the isles of the West Indies
    We already know who brought us here
    And who created this confusion
    So I'm begging, begging my people please

    Chorus

    Now they are making restrictions and laws to spoil our beauty
    But in the end we shall prevail
    This is not just cricket, this thing goes beyond the boundary
    It's up to you and me to make sure that they fail
    Soon we must take a side or be lost in the rubble
    In a divided world that don't need islands no more
    Are doomed forever to be at somebody's mercy?
    Little keys can open up mighty doors

    Chorus
    होता है जो होना है ... वक़्त ही शायद खुदा है ...
    कौन कहता है आदमी अपनी किस्मत खुद लिखता है?

    “Wear something red” was the popular cry
    And like the pavements and streets
    They were filled with envy
    Because by morning light
    They were covered with our blood
    I tell you not one soul here escaped the frenzy

    You know sometimes you're gambling king
    And wild is the joker
    And sometimes the sight of the moon
    Just riles up the lost, the hungry, the mad
    These are the troubled times
    That we have down in Trinidad

    Because under the crescent moon
    And above the bloody asphalt
    Strange dogs were barking deep in the night
    Under the crescent moon
    I say the drums were silent
    But somehow the rhythm continued, oh what a sight

    On the night of the day
    It was the night of the day
    It was the night that they say
    That the martyrs died

    Fame, yes we’re famous as hell
    Why don’t you know we’re a star
    At long last we have made it
    Star, like that star in the moon
    Shining over the tomb
    Dance the moon, you can’t ‘fraid it

    Come on, dance brother dance
    For death is your drummer
    Prance sister prance, your future’s at stake
    Jump high jump low, but this Hosay will take place

    Because under the crescent moon
    And above the bloody asphalt
    Strange dogs were barking deep in the night
    Under the crescent moon
    I say the drums were silent
    But somehow the rhythm continued
    Oh what a sight

    On the night of the day
    It was the night of the day
    It was the night that they say
    That the martyrs died

    The power and the glory is so close at hand
    But the beast he was lurking
    For he too sits in the wings
    So when we searched for the moon
    All we saw were the vultures
    But then a chosen people never worry ‘bout these things

    So the roll of the tassa
    Began to sound like the rhythm of bullets
    And the thundering boom bass
    Well that was a bomb
    In this Moslem time
    When the Hosay is number one

    Under the crescent moon
    And above the bloody asphalt
    Brotherman strange dogs were barking deep in the night
    Under the crescent moon
    I say the drums were silent
    But somehow the rhythm continued, oh what a sight

    On the night of the day
    It was the night of the day
    It was the night that they say
    That the martyrs died

    Not in this house, not in this Garden of Eden
    Oh how we danced to the beat of this lovely lie
    Until a man opened a door
    And showed us our other side
    And all our Mecca’d illusions
    Walked right on by

    Now Trini know what is uzi diplomacy
    Now Trini know what is SLR love
    In these troubled times
    Under the stars above

    Under the crescent moon
    And above the bloody asphalt
    Strange dogs were barking deep in the night
    Under the crescent moon
    I say the drums were silent
    But somehow the drumming continued, oh what a sight

    On the night of the day
    It was the night of the day
    Oh the night when they say
    That the magic died
    होता है जो होना है ... वक़्त ही शायद खुदा है ...
    कौन कहता है आदमी अपनी किस्मत खुद लिखता है?
